Wang Yongji's position as chief minister was removed, and then he changed to Li Yutian, who had been in charge of the northern line affairs in Ningyuan.

As for the Chief Li, there is nothing to say. He has implemented His Majesty the Emperor's will in a decisive manner, which has made the people's resentment in the Restoration District of Hedong, and the treacherous ministers are constantly hearing the news of the country. But it is useless to curse. Li Yutian is not Wang Yongji, and Wang Yongji is a native of Gaoyou. He is afraid that doing this will anger scholars, including the gentry in his hometown, and then calling him treacherous ministers digging his ancestral grave. You must know that Gaoyou is likely to become an occupied area. How can those gentry be fence-bearing like this? But Li Yutian is from Ganzhou, Shaanxi. What else is there to be scary now? His hometown has become a thief's nest many years ago! It's hard to say how many gentry can there be who have not been cut down by Li Zicheng! He has no psychological burden to do such an angry and resentful act.

That was a broken can!

In the following time, the Ming army recovered Leting with great speed without bloodshed, Qian'an and Fengrun, until they failed to suffer a small battle between the Qing army's vanguard in Yutian, and then they gave up their plan to recover Jizhou.

In the end, the Ming army stopped in Yutian.

Yang Feng's goal has been achieved.

After Huairou's defeat, Li Zicheng abandoned Shunyi and retreated to Beijing. Despite the heavy losses, 80,000 troops including 40,000 elite troops from the old camp retreated into Beijing.

After all, the battlefield was not Shanhaiguan, and it was only eighty miles away from Beijing. The cavalry ran back in one go. The infantry fought hard and ran across the Wenyu River in the same day. The defeat was a defeat, but it was not the kind of uncontrollable defeat.

Although Dorgon defeated, he lost more than 10,000 elite troops of the Eight Banners. Of course, Yang Feng had a share, especially Obai's death in battle, which had a great blow to the morale of the Qing army. He was not just a yellow flag Bayala Banner Zhang Jing, but he was the most famous general in the Qing army. He was a warrior who specialized in overcoming difficulties. When Huang Taiji fought for the throne after his death, even Dorgon was afraid that he would be afraid that he would be in the throne. With his bravery and specially designed tactics, he still had a corpse on the battlefield. The terror of the dog emperor was also terrifying. In addition, Wu Sangui's army broke out from Shanhaiguan, and was afraid that Yang Feng would raid the flank Dorgon was also cautious, so he did not attack Beijing for the time being, but divided his troops to seize all parts north of the canal.

Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't know how to attack Beijing City.

He didn't have enough cannons.

When Ning Yuan was frustrated, he was afraid of these strong cities. The walls of Beijing were obviously not comparable to Ning Yuan. This thing was not solved by hand-to-hand combat. Besides, even if he sacrificed his life to capture Beijing, the final result would probably turn himself into a side dish that Yang Feng could call.

Therefore, he had to conquer Beijing at the minimum cost. This way, the cannons were the best choice. He had to repair the cannons seized from the Shun Army first, and also wait for a batch of cannons transported from Jinzhou to arrive. In this way, after the Huairou War and a series of minor wars in the later period, the situation of confrontation between the three parties in the Beijing area was temporarily formed.

Jidong was the Ming army.

It stopped westward in the modern world, Yutian, and to the south, the Ninghe area, which still belonged to Baodi, was not considered anyone. This area was flooded every year, and it was not attractive. It was considered a buffer zone. Anyway, the Ming army was stationed in modern Tangshan at the southeast, and this area belonged to Fengrun and Luanzhou. For Yang Feng, as long as he got the coal mine, he had no interest in anything else.

South of the canal is from the Shun Army.

But Li Zicheng could only control Beijing, and there was also a road to Baoding, so other places like to do whatever they wanted. In fact, from Tongzhou to the east, Yuan Yuzong was controlling. The former Ming Dynasty Tianjin soldier Beidao was watching and seeing who he sold to to be able to sell it at the best price. Originally, he should have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and returned to the emperor's arms, but the problem was that the emperor began to take the route of a fool. Not to mention him, even those gentry in Tianjin and other places would not do it. Even rumors began to appear in this area that the emperor was actually a demon. This shows that Yang Feng's original judgment was completely correct, and the downline of these gentry was completely at the height he expected.

To the north of the canal and to the west of the Ji canal is the area controlled by the Qing army.

At this point, all three parties stopped strangely.

Yang Feng had no motivation, Li Zicheng had no ability, Dorgon had both motivation and ability, but he had no confidence. It would be fine if he could open Beijing easily, but if he was really blocked under the city of Beijing, Yang Feng would be stabbed.

The key now is the people's hearts.

The key is that the gentry is also very confused now. On one side are thieves, on the other side are tyrants, on the other side are tyrants, and on the other side are Tartars. This multiple-choice question is really difficult!

Of course, they are not unable to do such things as choosing a thief. As long as it meets their wishes, the thief can become a wise ruler. But the problem is that Li Zicheng does not meet their wishes! Choosing the emperor was the most reasonable choice, but now it is not possible. This is not a wise ruler. This is clearly developing towards Jie and Zhou! It is nothing like choosing a Tartar. After all, the gentry of Zhili has been kneeling down and worshipping many Tartars since the Northern Song Dynasty, but the problem is that he doesn’t know the way of this! It takes some time to understand.

In short, the gentry in Zhili was also worried during this period...

Very confused!

"Your Majesty, just listen to the old minister!"

Liu Kongzhao said.

He, Wang Duo and Zheng Zhilong were all preparing to return to Jiangnan. Of course the army they brought were left, but before leaving, they still wanted to persuade the emperor to take back his previous orders and treat the gentry in the occupied areas with kindness.

"Your Majesty, they had no other choice under the circumstances. Although they did not follow the sage and were loyal to the emperor, they did not really support themselves. Now the most urgent task is to suppress the rebellion and expel the Tartars and restore Beijing. They should give them a chance to make meritorious service. For example, let them contribute some money and food, and let them organize their children to serve the court. I think they would be willing, instead of rushing to punish them in this indiscriminate way. Your Majesty now needs to let the world feel the sunshine of spring, not the power of summer, otherwise it will make the people in the occupied areas afraid."

Then he said again.

The emperor's actions actually have little impact on the gentry in Jiangnan, because as long as they are not captured by the gang, they naturally don't have to worry about this problem. There is a gang in the Yangtze River in Jiangnan, and the gang cannot be defeated, so they can look at this matter from the perspective of an outsider, but even from the perspective of an outsider, it is too much to look at the emperor.

"Zhengyi Bo, my queen is dead, my daughter is dead, my sons are still unknown to this day. My most respected sister-in-law has committed suicide in order not to be deceived by the thief. I have died so many relatives. Can't I breathe a sigh of relief now!"

Yang Feng roared like an outburst.

At the same time, he grabbed the cup in front of him and threw it on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please calm down your anger!"

Liu Kongzhao knelt down and said in fear.

"Get up, I know you are for my own good, but this time no one can change my mind. These capricious villains have ruined my family. I will teach them some lessons no matter what, otherwise what will I look like to see my relatives who died in the dark."

Yang Feng sat dejectedly on the chair, squeezed out some tears and said.

Liu Kongzhao didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he quickly took the leave carefully, and after leaving the door, he was grabbed by Li Yutian who happened to be here.

Shoufu Li looked at Yang Feng who was still acting in pain inside, and then whispered to Liu Kongzhao: "Zhengyi Bo, Your Majesty is suffering in this great disaster. Not to mention his emperor's honor, even ordinary people are killed and their families are broken and their wives are separated. He still has to be filled with hatred. He will always feel uncomfortable if he doesn't let the emperor make such anger. Anyway, most of these people deserve it, so he just let the emperor make such anger. The bad-name official is to bear it. After some time, the emperor calms down. It's not too late to persuade him slowly. Go back and tell all the greats of Jiangnan so that they don't have to worry too much."

Liu Kongzhao nodded.

"Master Li Ge, you are also suffering!"

He said somewhat moved.

"For the sake of the emperor, it's no big deal for us ministers to get criticized."

Li Yutian sighed and said.

"Ning Yuanbo, what's the matter?"

Yang Feng said in it.

Li Yutian hurried in, then saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Pingxi reported that the false marquis Tian, ​​who had broken into rebellion, saw Xiu lead three thousand subordinates to surrender to the court. According to what he said, Your Majesty had pardoned him and his subordinates on the battlefield."

"Yes, send them to Shanhaiguan!"

Yang Feng said.

Tian Jianxiu's surrender was actually as he expected. After they hid in the mountainous area, they had no other way out. Jizhou was occupied by the Qing army, and thousands of them could not pass the Qing army and return to Beijing. Outside the Qing army controlled area, they were under the control of the Ming army. They could not pass the Ming army controlled area. There was not enough food in the mountains, so they could not surrender and become savages?

"Also, the Tianjin garrison Yuan Yuzong surrendered to the Tartars."

Then Li Yutian said again.

"Surrender to the Tartars?"

Yang Feng smiled instead.

"Look, this is the Tianjin army that I had high hopes for back then. Before he could reach his rebellion, he not only surrendered himself, but also forced Feng Yuanyang to surrender together, and led his troops to intercept Cao Youyi, who was unwilling to surrender. Now that the Tartars are here, he can't wait to surrender to the Tartars before he can't wait. This is my good minister. His sages have been read into the dog's belly. I am really blamed for this. I was so blind back then!"

Then he said.

"That's not that you are forced to surrender to you, but you have issued an order to surrender and exiled. How dare they surrender to you!"

Li Yutian complained in his heart.

Of course, he didn't know that this was the effect His Majesty wanted. If they did not surrender to the Tartars, how could His Majesty take action against them in the future? You must know that just canceling the right to exempt taxes is not enough, and you have to make out the land in the hands of those gentry.
